I can't reproduce this; on my system (also an i386), I have 9 modules
showing.  Do you have any of the following geomview environment
variables set (I don't)?

### GEOMVIEW_DIR: pathname of geomview distribution directory
### GEOMVIEW_GVX: pathname of executable file "gvx"
### GEOMVIEW_LOAD_PATH: colon-separated list of directories to search
###     for files
### GEOMVIEW_EMODULE_PATH: colon-separated list of directories to search
###     for modules
### GEOMVIEW_SYSTEM_INITFILE: pathname of an initialization file to
###     read upon startup
### GEOMDATA: [ used only by some modules; for backward compatibility ]
###     pathname of the data directory

Do you have a file $HOME/.geomview or a .geomview file in the current
directory when you start?

That appears to be a bug.  The examples are arranged in a hierarchy
(geom, geom/polyhedra, etc) in the sources, but due to a bug all the
files are installed in one flat directory /usr/share/geomview/data.
